Worst travel day ever...
3 hrs delay in Manchester
Then another Hour on plane before even took off
5 hours sat on tarmac at Heathrow
Told rebooked onto last miami flight
Went to check in told sorry our mistake
Had to change onto fort lauderdale tomorrow from Gatwick
Had to go collect bags and catch coach
Guess what...no bags
So now on coach on way to premier inn feeling rather sorry for myself 😞

OP I’m so sorry for you! What a shocker of a day you’ve had. I really hope that tomorrow is a totally different experience for you. Also make sure you claim the relevant compensation payment in due course.
Fingers crossed that you finally get to your holiday.

So sorry to hear this, I was working today and was aware of your dilemma, I can honestly say in all my years at LHR I have never encountered a tarmac delay on arrival of this magnitude.

Hopefully your bags will arrive overnight and you will be on your way in the morning. Don't forget to claim your 600 euro per person compensation under EU261 regulations.

I’m not surprised that’s shocking. 5 hours on the Tarmac at Heathrow I’d have been beside myself.

That is horrendous. Your kids must be upset as well as yourselves. Hope it all goes well tomorrow and you are reunited with your bags too. I have never flown with BA and don't think i ever will, always seems to be something with them every year, strikes, glitches etc.
Get a good nights sleep , tomorrow is another day and a better one than today and you can start your holiday.

Must be so frustrating for you all.😡

That's awful, I would be having couple of stiff drinks.

Hope your flight tomorrow goes smoothly and you get reunited with your luggage.
